And that's it

We're being kicked off campus as of this afternoon.

I will not see another human being on any kind of regular basis for maybe months. I hope I survive this. I'm serious. I may need to find some kind of counseling that will allow me to Zoom meet for it because.....I am just afraid of what will go on in my head with no one to talk to. Typing on the computer is one thing but it's not the same.

I'm kind of in shock. I thought they'd let us keep coming in with campus being closed but obviously not, now that there are cases in town.

I did one last lecture from my office, I very nearly cried.

I hope the busy-ness of trying to teach from home will eat up enough time that I stay sane. I was very close to losing it - scarily close - Sunday night.

If you're the praying type, please pray for me. I don't know how I'm going to survive I don't even know how many months in what is the equivalent of solitary confinement.

Then again: we are having weekly Zoom meetings as faculty, that will help some. I'm also gonna push for everyone to make a master-list of cell phone numbers (I got my best-frolleague's one before we left) so we can call if something emergent happens.

I made an "intro to my home workspace" video but I am not sure if I will post it in BlackBoard, it might be a bit too soppy and unprofessional.
